I’m worried for iPod. He’s been left out of the picture for a long time, almost forgotten. The iPod shuffle recently just got over an identity crisis. He forgot his buttons little while ago but has since recovered it. iPod nano is struggling to stay in people’s pockets, since he’s so small. The iPod classic, well he’s just the same.

The iPods are now desperate for the once undivided attention it once had before iPhone and iPad came along and became very popular. Apple products have worked like a clocks in the past when it comes to releases, iPhone in June, iPad in April and a new line of iPods in September/October area. However, it’s been 7 months since then and the iPods have still received little attention even from people outside Apple. I think Apple is beginning to abandon the iPod. But how could it abandon the one product that basically made it a technology company competitor, one that has changed many industries, the music industry included. Because it has a better device to take over. It has iOS devices to take over. And yes this does include iPod touch.

Even the nano has a iOS-like interface. Apple is probably running out of ideas for the new iPods. I mean as I reported to you in a recent article, the only iPod that would see change would be the iPod touch. Apple has the overall monopoly in music players, but is that really important anymore? I think that if Apple were to cancel all iPods besides the Touch and maybe the shuffle, I don’t think they would care very much. Apple is supposedly going to introduce a three inch touch screen device which could be a variation of an iPod nano but I think they will kill the iPod name in the process. They might have iTouch and iTouch air (the supposed three inch device). Apple will probably not kill the line just yet, perhaps in the next few years, but he is becoming more and more forgotten about.

The music industry has died. Something that goes by the name of techno “music” has killed the music industry as we know it. My son listens to deadmaus and these computer generated noise. This “music” is made on computers and features little to none human element. What is a human element? It can include singing, guitar, keyboards, drums any instrument that makes a sound without the help of a computer (no, a pedal is not a computer). All techno music is, is noise generated on a computer. I personally give no credit to the makers of this music since all they do is press some buttons and make mind numbing noise that is worthless to listen to. Now, the music industry isn’t completely dead, you still have me and many adults that listen to human elemented music. However, when we are gone and all that are left are older teens and young adults that have been dumbed down from this mind numbing noise, the music industry will change to the noise industry. So what does this have to do with Apple. Apple is a company that works closely with the music industry. Once the music industry sees this noise takeover, Apple will need to ban techno music. So I am giving Apple a call to action. Apple, ban techno “music” and save the entire music industry, don’t and you’ll be going against Steve Jobs ideals, his ideal of working closely with the music industry. He said the music not noise industry. Ban the noise industry and save the music industry.

Apple, on this day, November 11, 2011 (better known as 11/11/11) has won its war against flash. Adobe announced today that they are pulling all resources away from flash and they will start to work on HTML5. This historic event was predicted by Jobs himself. So what will happen to Apple when flash is pulled. Because flash will be pulled, websites will no longer contain it, so more and more websites will putting their content in Apple-friendly HTML5. This will cause iPod touch, iPhone and iPad sales to go up and competitors down because people will no longer have a reason to go with another non-Apple product, because it won’t matter that flash is on it because, as predicted by Steve Jobs, Flash is dead. Thank Jobs for this great achievement. Death to flash is complete. iUsers everywhere rejoice.
